BRIDE IN COURT DEMANDS SUPPORT Nother-in-Law Has Leading Role in Domestic Drama The old “mother-in-law™ ques- tion wag before Judge M. D. Saxe in police court today, during the trial of Fred Gigliotti, aged 23, of 105 Clark street, who was charged with nonsupport and accused by his 18 year old bride of less than four montks of being cruel to her by re- fusing to accompany her.on visits to the home of her mother on Elm street, and by insisting on making their horte'in a tenement across the hall rom his mother and and broth- er when the former persisted in dominating her even to the extent of supervising the management of her household. Prosecuting Attorney J, G. Woods declared that “mothers-in-law should mind their own business, and Young married couples would be bet- off,” while Attorpey Thomas F. cDonough, representing Gigliotti, scored young married women who “run around all day looking into their husbands’ business, when they | - should be at home where they be- long.” He contended that under the law, Mra. Gigliottl deserted her hus- band and is not entitled to support, but Mr, Woods maintained every nonsupport case has individual features which must be taken into consideration, and in this instance, the evidence was clear that Mrs, Gigliotti should not be obliged to continye to live under the circufn- stances*she described. Probation Officer C'onnolly testi- fied that the couple lived together in a four room tenement at 105 Clark | street for about two months after | their marriage on September 19 1927. On December 12, the bride reported to him that she had left her | husband and was making her home with her mother on Elm street. Mr. Connolly made an effort to reconcile the couple, he said, to do o, as the bride aceused her mother-in-law of interfering in her affairs, while Gilliotti vefused to live elsewhere than 105 Clark street Gigliottl, in his own defeuse, t tified that he wants his wife o re (urn to his home. He denied tha! he ever treated her cruelly, and to his knowledge, his mother had never in- terfered with his wife that he had told his wife a number of fimes to visit her mother alone if &he wished to, becanse he was tired after his day's work in a local f tory and did not t to go calling every night as his wife wished him to do. Since his wife left him, he has tried to have her return, but she | has refused. Mrs. Gigliotti's testimony was that her husband gave her $4 a we which she in turn gave his mother who supervised the shopping. 1 wanted to buy a pound of rice, she would have to go with me to the store,” she said Her husband heat her. too, ghe charged, and when she told him on the telephone that she would not live with him as long as he remained under the same roof as his mother, | he fold, her he did not care, as he had “plenty of girls in the =shop She {s visiting a physician twice week at $2 per visit, she soid, an in addition to the expense she folf che should have $6 a week was testmony also concerning he dowry at the time of her wedding, and the ownership of the money with which the furniture was pur- chased.

He felt that the couple would be happier if they were living apart from their rela- tives and he hoped arrangements could be made to bring this condition {to pasa They did not appear to have drifted so far apart as to make reconciliation impossible, and it was to be regretted that they had not arranged their affairs privately. He! ordercd Gigliotti to post a bond of | $300 to guarantee payment of $8 a week to hig wife, under penalty of 15 days in jail for default of the bond. On request of Attorney Mc-, Donough, bonds for an appeal were ! fixed at $500. Attorney McDonough said he hoped the couple's troubles would bhe corrected satisfactorily without the necessity of an appeal. Guilty of Stealing Overcoat A fine of $25 and costs was im- posed on William Ahern, aged 68, of 241 Chestnut street on the charge of theft of an overcoat, but execution of the penalty was suspended and Ahern was warned by Judge Saxe to be careful of his habits as-indulgence {in strong drink caused the commis- sion of the theft. Officer T. C. Dojan testified that Georgo Beauchamp of Main street, complained to him that his overcoat was stolen Christmas morning at Y. | T. A. & B, society hall on Main street. The complainant was attending |church services at the time. T |officer learned that an intoxicated |man had been seen walking out of !the hall with the coat on his arm, but a search about the streets failed to locate him. Yesterday, however, the officer met Ahern on Main strect and asked him about the . Ahern readily admitted that he had the coat but he claimed he did not know how he came into possession of if. |He took the officer to his room and gave him the garment. Alern pleaded guilty fo the charge and said he could not account for | his action in taking the overcoat, as he has two coats and did not need another. He was under the influence lof tiguor and did not know what he was doing Christmas Day. He w struck by an automobile last March tand has had head trouble since then. He was never.arrested prior to this |time, he said 8 Prosecuting Attorney Woo reo marked that the {heft apparently was the result of Aharn's intexical- ad condition, rather t a deliber te violation of the law, and Judge !Saxe agreed Living on Bread and Coffee and Mis.
